Beth, an American eel. She’s not that much an old eel, but her enthusiasm is always beyond description. She’s a jewelry designer and made a great accessory that describes well about our love toward JKS, eternal love. I shared some info about her work at the bottom of this post. If you’re interested in it, please contact her directly.

Here is my full FA for the Team H Halloween Party at Makuhari Messe Hall, Chiba, Tokyo, Japan on Saturday October 31 and Sunday November 1st 2015!

PART 1: The Build-Up
If I go back to the beginning of this adventure, I would say it started just after the first of the year. MelyPr Eel (Melinda Reyes) and I had been dreaming of a chance to go meet in Japan someday and go to a concert, and suddenly, she had a possibility to take off work in the fall, sometime around the first of November, and my husband coincidentally began to plan another of his art shows in Tokyo for the end of October/beginning of November. When he finalized his plans in the spring to have the art gallery opening party on October 30th, Melinda and I got serious about planning a trip where we could meet up.
The only thing missing from our trip was the concert we dreamed of seeing together. First, Monochrome was released, and many concert dates were announced, but they ended in June. We hoped perhaps for a second round of concerts in the fall, but June came and went and no further dates were announced. We kept biting our nails, afraid to buy tickets for the wrong date– what if we got the tickets and then they announced a date that we just missed?! It was terrifying, but we tried hard to just think of it as a fun trip to Japan and a great place to meet up for the first time. Still….. it was impossible to push hopes for a concert out of our minds.
Summer came and still there was no announcement. It was beginning to seem that our dear AP was either taking the fall off, or had some other plans that would keep him from touring. We really began to lose hope of a concert. But suddenly he had a Live in Seoul concert, and our hopes bloomed again…. then…. it happened!! The announcement came that there would be two Team H Halloween Party concerts in Tokyo, over Halloween weekend!!
